Knitter's Review
February 26, 2004

 Say you've been teaching an unusual knitting technique for several years and are ready to write a book about it. One option is to approach a mainstream publisher, or you can follow in Cat Bordi's or Prudence Mapstone's footsteps.
Bordi self-published the runaway hit Socks Soar on Two Circular Needles. And Mapstone turned her years of freeform knitting experience into a self-published book we review this week.

In the Boutique: Four-Eyes Rule!
When I first introduced our glasses-clad Knitting Lady Pin last month, they sold out almost immediately. I'm happy to report that we are once again fully stocked with these quirky and charming pins.
In the Forums: Affordable Substitutions?
So you've fallen in love with a pattern but can't afford the yarn. How can you substitute it for a less expensive one?

Unexpected Goodbyes
On a personal note, I'd like to take a moment to say farewell to a dear friend who passed away suddenly last week. Preferring the crochet hook to the knitting needle, Jenny Makofsky had a rare and constantly surprising way of seeing the world. We shared more laughter than most friends could hope for in a lifetime, and I will miss her dearly.
As always, I thank you for your readership and your support. Happy knitting, and I'll see you in the forums.
